If a recipe says "untested"...

We want to post scans of all the original recipes so everyone in our family can enjoy them even if we haven't gotten around to testing each one in our modern kitchen. As we test each recipe, we will add our notes and photos to the recipes we do test and remove the note "untested" in the title. If you make one of the untested recipes, take a photo of the finished product and send us a note to let us know of your experience so we may include those in the recipes as well.

Mary Greiner's Divinity (untested)

This typewritten recipe is attributed to Mary Greiner.

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

2/3 cup light corn syrup (dark Karo can be used in place of white to give is a caramel flavor)

2 egg whites

1/2 cup water

Vanilla or almond extract [no measurement is given but I'm guessing a teaspoon would do]

Nuts, cherries and/or coconut (optional)

Instructions:

Place sugar, salt, syrup, and water in a saucepan to boil

Cook until hard brittle stage* (300°F-310°F)

The secret of divinity is to have the syrup crackle when tapped on edge of cup
